I found out about three weeks ago that my stepmom has cancer. Now I have a stepmom because my birth mother died of cancer. Now, my father has to go through his second wife with cancer.

Almost all my close friends are married and the ones that aren't are in some sort of committed or cohabitation setup. As a single man I am seen as nuisance. I have basically zero to fuck incentive to be seen or heard. I tried ghosting in the past but now I have the drive to get it done properly. I've dropped off social media and I've just stopped responding to few messages I receive. I don't give my number out to people anymore. The next goal is to leave my 9 to 5 and get my own property (I rent an apartment).

You know the world is fucked when you have better conversations with a bunch of strangers in the gym than with your friends and family these days.
